List of stations in London fare zone 1

Fare zone 1 is the central zone of Transport for London's zonal fare system used for calculating the price of tickets for travel on the London Underground, London Overground, Docklands Light Railway[1] and, since 2007, on National Rail services.[2] For most tickets, travel through the zone is charged more expensively than the others.[3] The zone contains all of the central London districts, most of the major tourist attractions, major rail terminals, the whole of the City of London, and the West End. It is about 6 miles (9.7 km) from west to east and 4 miles (6.4 km) from north to south.[4]

Background

London is split into six approximately concentric zones for the purpose of determining the cost of single fares and Travelcards. The boundary of zone 1 roughly corresponds to the route of the Underground's Circle Line and thus stations within the zone cover the West End, the Holborn district, Kensington, Paddington and the City of London. Old Street, Angel, Pimlico, Tower Gateway, Aldgate East and Euston, Vauxhall, Elephant & Castle, Borough, London Bridge, Earl's Court, Marylebone, Edgware Road, Lambeth North and Waterloo are in zone 1 but not in or on the Circle Line. Every London Underground line has stations in zone 1. It includes all of London's principal railway terminals. Underground stations within this zone are typically close together; for instance Covent Garden and Leicester Square tube stations are only an eighth of a mile apart, the smallest distance between any two stations in the network. The zone originates from two central London zones that were created on 4 October 1981 named City and West End, in which flat fares applied. In 1983 the two zones were replaced with a new zone 1.[4]
